I've been waking up early and doing yoga - a gentle stretching workout that I don't really consider working out because I don't sweat. My heart rate increases only ever so slightly. I can re-wear my workout clothes.
I really really want to start running again. I've been moody and sluggish and off balance. I think it's because I stopped running. I haven't been able to find that same release in yoga, and I don't have very many other choices for working out.
I've told myself that I might not have to wait until the end of January after all. The pain has gone away, and the little lump has all but disappeared. If I don't experience any pain, I can run as soon as I get the treadmill serviced (I think that might be part of the problem.)
I just really want to get back to it, and to keep myself from adding extra pounds or getting too soft before I need to wear a bathing suit in February.
The thing is, if I'm wrong, I could be setting myself up for an even longer recovery period, and an even more serious injury.

Ask your doctor to be sure.
TRX! If you had one, would you use it?
The thing is, I don't want to make an extra doctor's appointment just for my ankle, and I'm not due to see him until the end of March. I think I would use the TRX, but I have no idea where I would put it... our basement is lacking in doors... maybe I could wrap it around that post? Or I could work out at the bottom of the stairs...
